how do you find out what the name of your app is

[Saeed]

What is the function that let you know what the name of your App (.exe) is and from where it is being run from ?

If you have defined the application name in your AssemblyInfo.cs you can read the application name by using the following code.

        private string AssemblyTitle
        {
            get
            {
                // Get all Title attributes on this assembly
                object[] attributes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false);
                // If there is at least one Title attribute
                if (attributes.Length > 0)
                {
                    // Select the first one
                    AssemblyTitleAttribute titleAttribute = (AssemblyTitleAttribute)attributes[0];
                    // If it is not an empty string, return it
                    if (titleAttribute.Title != "")
                        return titleAttribute.Title;
                }
                // If there was no Title attribute, or if the Title attribute was the empty string, return the .exe name
                return Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);
            }
        }

And this should give you the right location.

string location = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

Assuming that you're running a Windows Forms app use Application.ExecutablePath and Application.StartupPath.
